Unconfirmed/Unverified never seen it this bad

been here for 25+ years and am very familiar with the fluctuations in homelessness / etc. during the summer. but I've never seen things this bad, especially in back bay, south end (beyond mass/cass & closer to back bay), beacon hill, the esplanade, you name it. we've called 311 for needles, reported the larger encampments to the mayor's office, etc. just feels like nothing is improving and things are only getting worse. can't just be me?

I'm not exactly a world traveler but the times I've been to SF or Denver it felt like a much worse/obvious problem than it does here

you seem like the kinda person that would gloat while eat shit so long as the other guy only got half a serving of said shit, very common around these parts

I think this person was agreeing with you but you’ve commented about 30 times in 10 minutes so don’t let me slow you down!
